Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Tator Tot - LP Zoo

A lion cub does claw and chew,

And so matter where I'm at

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo

I'm ready - this little big cat

To check out all the stuff around

For chewing and clawing appeal.

One keeper given thing I've found,

That for me is a preferred deal

Is a sweet potato, it's called.

At first with it I like to play.

It's fun to roll because it's balled.

Then I claw and chew it away.

With teeth and claws this spud is smashed.

I like my sweet potatoes mashed.
